Banner for Steve Carell and Steve Buscemi's act of "Burt Wonderstone and Anton Lovecraft" and an advertisement for the Hot Box illusion.

Jim Carrey will play Steve Haines, their increasingly popular rival and a "street magician" (in the vein of Criss Angel) who performs elaborate, impossible stunts. For example, his show "Steve Haines: Brain Rapist" features him being punched in the face, then producing the man's card from a cut in his bruised cheek. Burt and Anton's "hotbox" idea is in response to audience attention shifting to Haines' oddities.

What the ... This reminds me of his great hippie performance at the MTV Movie Awards when he won for 'The Truman Show', loved that. I'm getting the feeling that Carell will be the good guy and Carrey will be the bad one ... that's new and something to look out for.
